Universidad de León review by Anna

Review by Anna, The Poznañ University of Economics, Poznan, Poland
Marketing and Sales Management, Erasmus
HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Not always when you are moving in everybody is so helpful,friendly and easy-going. Anyway after the experience in León I couldn`t have asked for more!I met great people,the flat was 5min from the university and 10min walking from the city center.Was perfect!
Personal comments:
At the time when I was in Leon the university wasn`t providing any kind of accomodation. Althaough there is a student residence,practicaly in the campus. Standards are quite high, everything is clean, there is an internet,in one "room" tehre is a kitchen, small living room and a bathroom to share but there are 3 independent rooms. unfortunatelly living there is much more expensive than renting a room. The city isn`t big so even if you live in the other part of the city than a university is it`s not far :)

Personal comments:
Barrio Humedo...all erasmus students are always going to Delirium, Arena,Studio 54 for an after party ;) but it depends also on the faculty. There are other favourite places for economic`s students and for vets ;) u can`t miss tapas and small kebeb bar on the Plaza Mayor -the longest open one :D

Personal comments:
i learned a lot...really a lot. The best thing you can do going on erasmus is to live with foreign students or local ones.The best and the fastest way of learning because you simply have to ;) Your brain is working 24h, not just during the clases and relaxing after coming home :P
